The campus is just the right size. Not too big, not too small. I immediately felt at home with CAFES and UWRF.

UWRF has a small town atmosphere, yet is close enough to the Twin Cities to be involved in big city life.

River Falls and its homey, college town atmosphere has come a long way since this photo was taken of Main Street in 1870! This was before UWRF even existed (the college was founded in 1874)! What are those numbers?

My UWRF education prepared me well for the career I am currently in today. My core business and agronomy classes provided me with a solid foundation in my field. However, CAFES prepared me for more than just my current job. They laid the ground work for my entire professional career. While I was a student in CAFES, I was exposed to many facets of agriculture, opportunities, and people who shared the same desire for agriculture as I did. It was through these experiences that I gained an awareness of what it meant to be an agriculture graduate, and of the endless opportunities open to me now and in the future.

The classroom work was very helpful, but the “hands-on” experiences students receive from outdoor labs and intern programs really helps to prepare you for your future field of choice.
